Happy Anniversary Dear

HWNSNBP and I celebrated our 31st Anniversary this week. I wanted to make something simple, and I don't think you can get any simpler than using the Carousel Notes. I tried to stay away from too much floral, but I thought that the card itself resembled a large flower like some of the flowers that HWNSNBP likes to grow in the garden. We have flowers with large blooms like dahlias, gerbera daisies, zinnias, and the occasional sunflower.

Here is a closeup of the watercolored image. I was really ticked at myself, not because I forgot our anniversary, but because I waited until the day of to make the card and thought that I would have enough time to get it done before he came home from work. Since I wound up working later than I should have, he didn't get the card until after we came home from dinner.

He doesn't like me talking about him on my blog, but I have to say that he is a great guy and I am a very lucky lady. Happy Anniversary Dear.

About Me

Welcome. My name is Lorraine Mastalski and I'm a lifelong crafter married 40 years to the love of my life who tolerates my obsession with craft supplies and the creative mess we're constantly in the state of. I work in a busy school office and come home to de-stress in my craft room to keep my sanity. Our children have left the nest and we were left with the bird - Kirby, our cockatiel who can be both sweet and nasty in a split second. I hope you enjoy your visit here.
